Mymyjp: Lol it's not too hard copy and paste is a great tool :P

Yer I was a little bit tired lol. Kinda dropping off while trying to post it but oh well, the entry got posted so it's all good!

As for the industry thing I didn't know no, they do go away though when the population comes back so I'm sure it has some link to that but I'll keep the park thing in mind for sure. May have to make you a governmental advisor some day. No pay and no holiday though.

Kim Sunwoo: Nah I'm too lazy to do all that approval thing so I'll just have to put up with you

:P.

Nah the fire was due to ill educated citizens apparently, stupid people can't even burn rubbish right!

Entry 12: Glorious Gabtoria!

Right then let's see. For today's entry were actually going to stay true to our word and concentrate on expanding the marvellous town of Gabtoria. With this glorious area as our planned centre to the principality and city it was time it got some serious expansion. First however, as with any great area of planned cultural and scientific importance we need to provide some lovely education to our residents of Gabtoria (screw you Nielton you don't deserve education!). Anyway as such we built our first Secondary School.

And here it is in all its glory (we'll just ignore the fact that we put it right at the edge of our actual city as it currently stands. We'll just have to expand some more). You can also see the Gabtoria Guard Police Headquarters in the background (or GGPH for short). The centre of our crime fighting attempts (who are now preparing to actually be educated to a higher level than primary education.)

However this did come at the cost of the smoke detectors that we'd distributed to several areas in the city and the recycling policy. However who needs to recycle when we can just burn everything right and surely education will help people to stop burning everything down!

Apparently however they must be doing some really ambitious experiments in the new Secondary School as the we started getting some more rolling blackouts. As such we decided to construct another power plant in Prenston. Now given that the old Coal Power Plant doesn't actually have anymore room to expand we built a newer more advanced Oil Power Plant!

Screw the environment we need to power the city somehow, plus we need to burn more garbage. Not like Prenston Grove were ever my biggest fans anyway.

Now with power out of the way it was time to go full steam ahead with the whole expansion of Gabtoria starting with this growth int he city limits!

Then moving straight into the building spree starting with a new palace all for m... I mean for the prestige of our great principality! (it does operate as the government offices as well honest) As you can also see we tried to design it with a actual CBD feel and we also had our first national park thingy

Welcome to Chateau Gabb and Gabtoria Park!

Anyway with this national treasure now finished at the expense of the tax payers it prompted some further residential development and the apparent complete abandonment of our new more organised approach and a return to our old build wherever the hell you want as long as it ends in a cul de sac.

Also the riverside development took on a rather unique (which is probably a good thing looking at it) nature. It even got named as Shackleton Shores!

Anyway this is all for the expansion so far. Don't worry though, people who aren't fans of Nielton, we will continue Gabtoria's expansion soon. However the monster that is traffic has apparently reared its ugly head again so we will have to fix that next time. However for now we'll leave you with this overview.

Gabtoria park is not very appealing but still realistic! Very town-typical, haha.

The overview looks better and better with each update. It's real fun to see how Gabtoria developes.
